This movie was the most illogical and stupid movie EVER made. If the FBI would have been called in once it was officially a kidnapping, the movie would have been over in 20 minutes and all of the people involved would have been in jail. Instead, the people searching for the kidnapped kid, bumble their way through two hours of absolutely unpredictable stupidity.
One morning, somewhere in an isolated Romanian village, a boy wakes up his father to go into town. His father has promised that they’ll go to have their old TV set repaired. The village is not only remote, but a long way from life as most people know it in the twenty first century; if it rains, water floods the house and in order to cross the river, one has to improvise a foot bridge. After they reach town, the father and his son go to a specialist, Bichescu, who repairs their TV set and they both return happily home. The child even manages to get home in time to watch his favourite film starring Bruce Lee.
